Sometimes I see teh news on my yootoob feed, and they bait me into clicking, and then I feel really dizzy from the stupidity of it and like I need to come on Steemit and express myself, lol.
Here's my breakdown of this:
Megyn Kelly is rad for a cable news host, I have to admit. Her "look at me, I'm tough .. I grill both sides toughly, that's me, Megyn Kelly" shtick is pretty transparent and lost on me but probably works great on the average cable news viewer, who doesn't realize that she can use that image to manipulate the audience a certain way (whereas like with Sean Hannity you know he's coming from one side, so you're more on guard about being influenced that way).
Comparison to Japanese during WW2 doesn't mean you're drawing a comparison to internment camps. He's saying there's precedent of filtering immigration from a country you're at war with, and that typically it isn't controversial to do that. You can't throw out the baby with the bath water; it's possible to filter immigration without locking people in camps.
Freedom of religion has nothing to do with anything. We're not talking about Americans. Nobody is saying that Americans who are Muslim need to signup for a registry. Unless you think immigrating to the US is everybody's natural born right, then it isn't a matter of rights, it's a matter of whatever (sometimes arbitrary) policy that a country wants to install in its requirement for immigration.
And to me filtering people from countries who you are at war with seems pretty normal.
I hope that doesn't sound intolerant. I'm not necessarily opposed to immigration from these countries, I don't really know what's going on or who all the US is at war with these days, lol. I just can't stand sloppy thinking that distorts the actual issue.
As far as I can tell, nobody actually thinks people should join a registry because they're Muslim, but rather because it's a country the US is at war with. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I would prefer the US left these countries alone, but when it makes enemies over there for decade after decade, it seems reasonable to filter immigration from these countries in some way.
I'm open to being wrong, but it's silly to me the way the MSM tries to reduce it to "registry for Muslims!!" vs "freedom of religion tho!!" when that's actually not the issue at all, it's just bastardizing both sides of it.
